Getting Started Wizard

The Getting Started Wizard guides you through selecting a SoDA template, saving it for future use, associating it with a source, and generating a report. The first panel looks like this:

Once you have read the introduction, choose Next to display the list of available templates:

The name of the template should give you an idea about what the template documents. Select the one that most closely fits the type of report you want to produce.

 

After selecting a template, you will be given the opportunity to save the template in another directory. If you have a source such as a Rose model or RequisitePro project, you may find it convenient to save the template in the same directory as the source.

If you do not have a model, project, or repository, SoDA includes some samples in the Demos subdirectory, which is the default save location.

 

The final step is outlined in the fourth panel:

When you select Generate from this panel you will see the Identify the <Class> Dialog Box where you will choose the source you want to document.

 

Once you have used the Getting Started Wizard, and have a template you want to use, you no longer need to use the wizard. Rather, use File->Open to display the template then choose the Generate Report command from the SoDA menu.
